ALL-PURPOSE VEGAN CHEESE SAUCE

This recipe is somewhat similar to my Recipe #356853, however, there is FAR less nutritional yeast in this mix. Nutritional yeast is an aquired taste for some, so this is a nice, mild tasting vegan cheese sauce, that can be served plain over veggies or with chips, OR spiced-up accordingly (ie cumin, chili powder, diced tomatoes & chillies, vegan taco meat...possibilities are endless) For the spices listed below, feel free to use 'heaping" teaspoons. The cashews can be soaked ahead of time to ensure that they puree smoothly, but this is not necessary. I heated my cashews, plus the water, in a glass measuring cup for about 4-5 minutes in the microwave to soften them a bit...

(Actually Good) Vegan Cheese Sauce image

I've tried so many vegan cheese recipes and they all taste, well, not like cheese. So I gave up and made my own. You can mix the sauce into macaroni, drizzle over fries, or use it in any other deserving dish.
